Chapter 188: Welcoming Ceremony!
It was Moss’s first school day after returning from the elite training program. He had invited Alan to walk to school with him the day before. When Moss stepped out of his house, he saw a chubby face smiling.
Alan’s trademark slicked-back hair dazzled in the sun. It was as if he had a hunch something amazing would happen that day. It seemed he had long arrived at Moss’s house, waiting for him to come out.
Moss revealed a heartfelt smile. Having a friend like Alan, who had played with him since they were children, was enough to make Moss happy.
“You’re early, Alan!”
Alan walked over, stretched out his arm to hug Moss’s shoulder, and said with a chuckle, “We’ve gone through the training program together, so we must broaden our horizons!” He patted Moss’s shoulder as he continued, “All right, let’s go to school!”
Moss nodded happily and walked toward school while chatting and laughing with Alan.
…
There were decorations at White Deer High’s gate early that morning. The balloons and streamers were overwhelming, and the most attention-grabbing thing was the enormous banners above the gate.
They read, “Congratulations, White Deer High, for obtaining the most outstanding results in the elite training camp!”
“Congratulations, Moss, you are the best graduate in S Country’s 201st elite training program!”
With such decorations, anyone who passed White Deer High’s gates would feel amazed. People said things like, “Moss is an outstanding student. He had just obtained the Future Star award not too long ago and immediately obtained the Best Graduate award after that!”
Moss’s ears were probably hurting from all the praise he heard.
…
At 8:30 in the morning, Elroy led Na’er and a group of teachers to stand before the school gate. They looked like they were about to welcome the city’s leaders as they waited for a student who had returned from the training program.
“Welcome back! On behalf of White Deer High, I would like to express our gratitude to you and all your hard work!” Elroy smilingly said as he shoved a bouquet into the student’s hands.
Na’er also came forward with a bright smile. She kindly said, “Please, come to the grand hall. We are hosting a welcoming ceremony for you there!”
Judging from the student’s shocked expression, one could tell the school’s gestures had greatly surprised him. Then a sense of superiority appeared on the student’s face, and everyone could tell what he thought at a glance.
Soon after, Moss and Alan arrived at the school gate and were shocked to see the decorations.
“Moss, did our school do this after the professional competition?” Alan pointed at the enormous banner as he spoke.
Before Moss could speak, Elroy walked straight toward him. He held Moss’s hand, and his eyes brightly shone as he said kindly, “Welcome back, Moss! Congratulations on winning the Best Graduate award, and thank you for fighting for our school’s honor.”
Considering Elroy’s slightly trembling hands, Moss could tell he was excited. “It is my duty to make the school proud, Director Elroy. If you hadn’t fought to give us slots in the training program back then, we wouldn’t have achieved those results.” Moss looked at Elroy, his tone was sincere, and his eyes revealed his gratitude.
Hearing that, Elroy nodded with satisfaction. Then he whispered, “Moss, you must work harder from today onward. I want you to succeed in the college entrance exams.”
Elroy’s words shook Moss’s heart. However, it was good news for him because he knew what it meant for a second-year student to participate in the exams. He also knew how much Elroy had sacrificed for him and his teammates.
Moss was about to say something when he felt Elroy’s hand transmitting power to him. The power made Moss feel warmth and confidence.
“Let’s go to the grand hall.”
With that, Elroy led Moss and Alan to the grand hall.
…
Ten minutes remained before the welcoming ceremony would begin, and the students had already filled the grand hall. The participants were mainly first and second-year teachers and students.
The third-year teachers and students were preparing for the exams, so they could not attend the welcoming ceremony.
Before the ceremony began, the other students surrounded their schoolmates who had just returned from the elite training program. They asked many questions, one after another.
“I heard that the training program has life-threatening dangers. Did any of you suffer any casualties?”
“How many levels did you guys gain in a month?”
“Is the food there good?”
“I heard that male and female students lived in the same dormitory and even forced some of the students away. Is that true? Can you tell us in detail?”
“Was the beast-taming mission fun?”
…
The students who had just returned from the training program were calm under overwhelming situations like these because they had undergone many physical and mental stress tests during the training camp. Although the others asked many strange questions, the elites could answer them all.
It was almost 9:00 in the morning when Elroy collected his thoughts and said, “Dear students, the welcoming ceremony will soon begin. Welcome back to those who have fought for our school’s honor during the training program!”
As soon as Elroy paused, thunderous applause and cheers echoed in the grand hall.
“I would like to congratulate Moss for achieving outstanding results and earning the Best Graduate award!”
Hearing this, the students and teachers cheered and chanted louder than before, bringing the lively atmosphere in the grand hall to newer heights.
“You’re too awesome, Senior Moss. We’re proud of you!”
“I heard a student can only earn the Best Graduate award if they place first in the assessments!”
“Wow! Senior Moss claimed first place among 900 students?! He is truly the elite of elites!”
…
The students were extremely excited when they heard of Moss’s performance. They praised him endlessly.
The teachers present were ecstatic, especially the ones who knew Moss on a deeper level. Among them was Aisha. She could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart as tears poured out of her eyes.
‘Y-You did it again, Moss! You’ve made us all proud!’
A strong sense of pride and triumph arose in Aisha’s heart. Although she was bawling, everyone knew they were tears of joy.
Another teacher beside Aisha had been paying attention to her. Envy filled that teacher’s eyes as she watched Aisha’s genuine excitement.
Elroy heard the audience’s praises and discussion as he cupped his hands and continued, “Dear students, do you want to see a tamed Magical Beast?!”
The students below the stage were in an uproar when Elroy said that.
“Yeah!”
“All right!”
The students hurriedly replied, eager for what was to come.
“All right, let the students who have obtained their Taming and Magical Beast Code certificates show us the results of their training at the elite training camp!”
Another round of applause echoed as Elroy finished speaking.
Mill and the other two students ran to the back of the stage to retrieve their Magical Beast. However, Moss did not move and stood rooted. Elroy was about to speak to Moss when Moss calmly released Little Seven from his interspace dimension.
His actions caused another commotion.
“Was that an interspace dimension?!”
“Is Moss going to keep shocking us?!”
…
Elroy was shocked when Little Seven appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. However, he knew what had happened when he saw Moss’s Interspace Ring.
‘Moss is always full of surprises!’ Elroy’s heart skipped a beat, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
